VERSION 14.2

Next.js

The full-stack React framework for production-grade web applications with built-in SSR, SSG, and API routes.

SYS.DETAIL

OVERVIEW

Next.js by Vercel has become the gold standard for building production React applications. It extends React with powerful features like server-side rendering (SSR), static site generation (SSG), and incremental static regeneration (ISR) — all crucial for SEO and performance.

We choose Next.js for projects where search engine visibility is paramount. Its file-based routing, automatic code splitting, and image optimisation deliver exceptional Core Web Vitals scores out of the box. The App Router introduced in Next.js 13+ brings React Server Components, reducing client-side JavaScript dramatically.

For multilingual European businesses, Next.js offers built-in internationalisation (i18n) routing, making it straightforward to serve content in English, French, Dutch, and German from a single codebase. Combined with Vercel's edge network, your site loads in under a second from anywhere in Europe.
